Leaking Tub Spout? How to Fix a Dripping Bathtub Faucet FAST (DIY Plumbing Repair)
What happens here
The video begins by demonstrating a persistently dripping bathtub faucet, even when the handles are turned off. The creator shows water leaking from the tub spout. He then advises closing the tub drain to prevent any small parts from falling down and getting lost during the repair process. The main water supply for the house is also shown being shut off from a crawl space to prevent flooding during the repair.
Goal: Confirm the faucet is leaking and safely shut off the water supply to the area.
